Engaging international students in employability activities:
an innovative approach

Rong Huang, Rebecca Turner, Shirley Walker and Caroline
Langmead (Faculty of Business, Teaching and Learning Support and International Student Advice)

Graduate employability has been widely debated by
policy-makers and academics (Pegg et al., 2012). However, Waters (2009) points
out that little reference is made in current literature to the increasingly
international dimensions of higher education. Huang et al.’s (2014) research
into graduate employability and Chinese international students in the UK argues
that the students were fully aware of a range of opportunities available to
support the development of their employability but their engagement with those
opportunities could be better. Many authors recognise the importance of social
media in engaging students in learning but few consider graduate employability.
Furthermore, anecdotal evidence gathered through our previous research and our
roles in supporting international students indicate that social media might
address the current gap. final report
